Chapter 95: EVA Broadcasting in Progress (Part II)
From a personal standpoint, for Miyahara Shizune, no matter how successful EVA can be, it is difficult for him to have a feeling of "rejoicing with it". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the current situation, all he values is EVA's ability to make money in the future.
For this work, he can't be as interested in as G Society.
Because for G Society, EVA is its own child.
So for Miyahara Jing, EVA is "someone else's child", although in terms of the division of interests, he did something "I live next door and my surname is Wang", but in essence, the two are not related by blood.
Shizu Miyahara's attitude is more or less the same, but in any case, EVA is the first "animated" work on the weekly shonen ME...... Although in fact it is "animation" in the first place and comics in the back, the entire editorial department still attaches more importance to this matter.
Well, because of the editors' concern, Miyahara Shizune also had to express her attitude to see the importance she attached to the editorial department's opinions.
On the evening of October 4th, when TV Tokyo was about to relax with EVA, he specially ordered someone to move a TV into the ME editorial office, and then waited for the animation to be broadcast with everyone.
At this time, in this small editorial office, Shizu Miyahara was here, and even most of the members of the editorial department of Yoshishi Kubo, Jun Miyahara, and ME, as well as Daisuke Akizuki, the editor-in-chief of Simari's side, were here.
After the commercial was finished, the time was frozen at 6:30, and EVA's TV anime started on time.
The first is the relaxation of the op, and at this time Miyahara Shizu's eyes did not blink......
It's not that I think he has such a strong curiosity, but that he is looking for the difference between the OP and the original.
In accordance with Hibiscus Society's request for investment in animation projects at that time, G Company handed over the rights to the EVA manga to Hibiscus Society, and marked the manga as being serialized in Hibiscus Society's manga magazine when the animation was broadcast.
This is something written in the contract, and G has no way and no need to refuse to execute it.
Sure enough, under the headline "Planned Original: GAINAX", there was a slightly smaller font that read, "The original manga is being serialized by Hibiscus Weekly Shonen MidEarth."
At that time, when I invested, Miyahara Jing was largely for such a line of words, but now I don't think it's much needed, but it's a thing.
The OP was one minute and thirty seconds, and it was quickly finished.
"This OP ......"
For EVA's op, Yoshishi Kubo wants to give his own evaluation, but he doesn't know how to describe it.
Although it's not an animation.,But everyone is in a circle.,Reluctantly, you can be cheeky and claim to be an insider.,The editor of the comic book will more or less have a certain understanding of animation.。
So Yoshishi Kubo will think that EVA's opening is very good, but after all, he is half-understood, not a professional animator, and let him talk about it for a while, and there is no way to describe it accurately.
The same is true for the rest of the editors, even if they don't know what kind of intention is expressed in the OP of this quick switch of shots, but there is still a word that can accurately describe their mood.
Well, this word is called unclear and strong.
Regarding everyone's reaction, Miyahara smiled and didn't make any comments.
This high-level OP can probably also let the people of the Hibiscus Society understand why the other party spent a lot of money to win the one-time copyright of ODA, but there is no reason to replace the OP of the work.
Because I guess even G Company itself,If you remake it.,Can't make a better OP than this.。
After the OP is over, the animation officially begins.
The time is 2015 in the Western calendar, and the location is the outer sea.
A giant creature wanders through the ruined city buildings underwater, and then he lands on the coast of the Hoto-Hotoji Islands.
Basic human form, pitch-black body, massive body shape, bizarre shoulders and peculiar head position......
The coastal garrison launched an attack on it, but without the slightest effect.
It was later learned that this mysterious and powerful creature was called the "Apostle".
The landed creature is known as the "Third Apostle", and its target is the city of Japan-Hon-No. 3 New Tokyo located on the Hakone Mountains near the border of Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures by the bay.
Then, the complete urban system of fortresses and underground latent cities was displayed in front of the audience, and this collective transfer method also illustrated the power of the "apostles" from the side.
The entire city of New Tokyo is nothing more than a fortress facility to meet the apostles.
In order to deal with the landing Apostles, the military establishment called the "United Nations Force" launched an attack on him, but the conventional tactics and weapons of war were all ineffective against the Apostles, and even the most powerful N2 bombs could do little to the Apostles, only slowing it down for a short time.
At the same time, the camera cuts to a teenager named Shinji Ikari who receives a letter from his father who has been absent for ten years, and is summoned by his father to the NERV headquarters in the basement of New Tokyo City No. 3.
Shinji Ikari is a fourteen-year-old boy with a gloomy and negative personality and an ordinary appearance, and he looks forward to meeting his father, however, when they actually meet, "father" does not have a trace of family warmth for him.
It turns out that he was summoned here only to become the pilot of a war machine called "EVA" to take on a giant monster called the Apostle.
The two storylines simply intersect.
The father, who met for the second time in ten years, did not show the slightest attitude that Shinji Ikari expected, but just gave himself such an order strongly......
So for the order, he refused.
However, if he doesn't work as a driver, he will have to be replaced by another seriously injured girl......
Looking at the girl's appearance, he had to change his decision and fight against an unknown lifeform on an EVA called the first machine as an ordinary person who had never received any training......
The background of the story shown in the first episode of EVA is still biased towards science fantasy as a whole, and EVA is just a "robot" and does not have so many religious overtones.
But it is undeniable that in this sentence, the psychological portrayal of different characters is quite in place, and the story is also fascinating.
The editors' attention is on the TV anime, while Miyahara's attention is on everyone's reactions.
24 minutes of animation,Plus the advertisement in the middle,The whole broadcast time is 30 minutes,After reading the first sentence,Yoshishi Kubo explained his attitude and expectations for the work in one sentence:
"Jing-kun, I think I can understand why you insisted on investing in this animation project when our financial situation was so dire at that time."
